VIDEO: Toyota commercials ensure long line of happy Prius customers 12 days ago on Autoblog Green

There's no question that Toyota's recent advertising campaign for the Prius has its followers and its detractors. While it's the haters that seem to be most vocal (imagine that!), Toyota's "Harmony" spot topped Nielsen's Top 10 Most-Liked New Ads list back in May, and the "MPG" commercial came ...
